Georgia’s attorney general has tossed a wet blanket over the MAGA-leaning state election board’s attempt to rekindle Donald Trump’s grievances about 2020 voting irregularities.
It’s the latest skirmish in a quiet battle being fought in states nationwide as Trump-loyal elections officials try to set the stage for a contested presidential election in November.
On Monday, Georgia Attorney General Christopher M. Carr signed an opinion formally rejecting the state board’s calls for him to “immediately investigate with outside investigators” allegations that the dense metropolitan area of Fulton County possibly double-counted an estimated 6,694 votes incorrectly during the previous presidential election.
